Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD)
SUTD’s Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD) pillar prepares you for the future needs of architecture in a digital era – ecological urban architecture, leveraging on big data to design smart cities, advanced design computation, digital fabrication and more.
Graduate with a Bachelor of Science with a major in Architecture and Sustainable Design (8 terms) or a Masters of Architecture with a major in Architecture and Sustainable Design (10 terms).
Engineering Product Development (EPD)
SUTD’s Engineering Product Development (EPD) pillar prepares you for leadership in the conception, design, implementation and operation of innovative technology-intensive products, with emphasis on products and systems whose development cuts across traditional discipinary boundaries.
Graduate with a Bachelor in Engineering with a major in Engineering Product Development
Engineering Systems and Design (ESD)
SUTD’s Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) pillar prepares you for the design, analysis and management of large-scale complex systems.
Graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Engineering Systems and Design.
Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD)
SUTD’s Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD) pillar integrates the traditional disciplines of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Information Systems – focusing on the design of systems that interact with both humans and machines.
Graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Information Systems Technology and Design.
At SUTD, I had the privilege of building electric vehicles, doing research on nanofibers, playing basketball as part of the university team and partaking in overseas community projects. My growth and learning were truly holistic, and I felt empowered to create a better world.
Multiple internships in the medical field and exposure to real-world healthcare problems gave me the knowledge and skills to impact the industry.
``I got to do what I love at SUTD, playing in two bands and taking part in hackathons which were a fantastic avenue for me to address real-world problems. Winning 15 hackathons across different industries was a mere consequence of the right methodology garnered at SUTD.``
We wanted a convenient and cool mobility device to ride the last mile home instead of relying on public transport, so we created the Freedom Electric Vehicle, a bicycle-overboard.
The collaboration among my peers and I during the interdisciplinary, cross-pillar projects gave us the knowledge to create something bigger than ourselves. The frequent interactions within the small groups also fosters many insightful discussions.
SUTD was where I started my own club SUTDio, where I questioned what architecture truly was to me and our community. It was where I discovered my love for inspiring and empowering others through architure.
I had amazing opportunities such as designing an innovative product under the guidance of MIT professors during a winter exchange, and developing my leadership skills through various overseas programmes at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Seoul, Korea.
Thanks to multiple overseas opportunities, I was able to experience living abroad both in the East and West. Attending design class taught entirely in Mandarin in Zhejiang and learning business 101 in Italy were intellectually stimulating, and taught me to appreciate other cultures as much as my own.
During a summer programme at Hangzhou, I had the rare opportunity to work with a tech company to develop a smart home app, gaining valuable insights into the unique Chinese business culture. This empowered me to pursue my passion in software development during my internship at a global oil and gas company.
The design-centric education in SUTD is about getting your hands dirty; knowing exactly how things work, and exploring infinite possibilities with the knowledge you have gained in lessons, and creating things that matter things that can change the world.
Working on various life-sized design projects from experimental pavilions to street installations in Chinatown, it was a great joy being able to initiate ideas and explore my interests beyond the school curriculum from the very first year.
